No, the original arrangement was with the council. The bailiffs are asking for the full amount within 7 days, but I cannot afford this amount. Do I have any other options?

Hi. I set up a payment plan for a £300 council tax debt. Managed to pay the first instalment (£20), but due to lack of money missed the second payment. Just had a Schedule 12 Taking Control of Goods letter delivered. They also added £235 for the enforcement fee. Is it possible to contact the council again and renegotiate, and avoid dealing with the bailiff? I also have a motor vehicle outside (old car worth under £500) . I take it's a good idea to park it elsewhere? I'm keeping the doors/windows closed, and refuse to answer the door. But my main concern is that they'll force their way in. Will this happen? Thanks.

There was something on the the Money Claim website re making a counterclaim (would've cost me £200!). I skipped this part, I assume that's ok?

Hi. Lowell Portfolio Ltd have sent me a County Court claim for a debt for a credit card. The debt is under £3k. On the form, it mentions that 'The Agreement was later assigned to the Claimant on 16/03/2012'. Not entirely sure if this date is re the agreement between myself and the CC company, or when it was passed on to Lowlife Ltd? Unfortunately, it isn't yet statute barred (6 years). As I'm working between temp part-time jobs, I can't afford this. What's the best way to contest this claim? Thanks.
-
I'm unable to scan it but at the top of the letter is: Application to the county court for possession of your home. It then outlines the total debt, and that's it really.
-
Thanks, I'll bear that in mind. I just need some input re courts and what to expect.
-
Yes, the letter said court fees up to £325. I have another issue. I tried all week to contact Shelter, and the lines are all tied up so I can't get any advice. Also spoke to the council's housing options team, and they said they'll get back. What I really need to know is when it goes to court, will I have a chance to put my side of the story to the judge? Or is it all done via post? I'm concerned that it's all done automatically, without any input from myself. Thanks.

But what if the customer claims that they lost the receipt? How could TKMaxx decide whether to refund said person?

Advice on shoplifting
Farbramble replied to Farbramble's topic in Retail loss Prevention/Other shoplifting allegations.
You're right re offering money, as once they have my details then they'll set the RLP dogs onto me and demand more £'s. Ill just stay away from these stores for quite awhile. Re the garage; I read somewhere that they're now using other RLP type companies to chase people, and it's purely a civil matter (it seems that the police are advising garages to go down this route). Anyway, thanks for the advice everyone. If anyone has other advice, please add them here. -
Advice on shoplifting

Re the garage; no. -
Looking for some advice, and what to expect will happen. Going through a tough period financially, and couldn't afford to eat or pay for the gas/elec. I started stealing from supermarkets via self-checkouts (I found an exploit, just like another poster here), and had taken mostly food. This happened several times, and approx £30-£50 each time. I also filled up my vehicle with fuel from a garage, and drove off without paying. I've now decided to stop as I don't want to end up too far down the rabbit hole. So assuming that they will ID me, what can I expect? Thanks.
-
Thank you SF. I will do that, good advice. Also for the present rent, my HB came through and was awarded so another bonus. I'll keep this thread updated, just in case someone is going through similar circumstances.
-
Update: they're going to also charge me the full cost of the court application. Is this allowed?
-
Hi. Yes, a letter was received re the Notice of intent to seek Possession. No to any payment plan. Arrears are just under £1k. I've had a similar scenario years ago (15 yrs) where I owed a similar amount, and a payment plan was accepted. I'll ask them for the documents that you've mentioned. Many thanks.

Hi. Due to not paying any rent for a few months (due to being ill), the local housing are going to serve me with a notice of intent to seek possession. I've contacted that and have mentioned that I'll be claiming unemployment benefit (Universal Credit), and that they only pay housing benefit after 6 weeks (their rules). I've also offered to pay a small sum each week, but they have refused the offer, and mentioned that they'll proceed with going to court. Would appreciate any advice as to what to expect, and how to proceed. Thanks.
-
Thank you. I will just inform them and hope to resolve it soon.

Hi there. I'm self-employed, but due to intermittent health issues (seeing the Dr), I've failed to notify the local council re HB/CT on my income. I've worked out I probably owe several thousand in rent, etc. Is there a system in place to pay it back, at a rate I can afford? I don't want to get in hot water over this! Many thanks.

...you mean you were running a stealth account?

HMRC plan to scrap £100 fines for late tax returns
Farbramble replied to Michael Browne's topic in Benefits and HMRC
Is this down to the job cuts at HMRC? Maybe they can't keep up with all the staff shortages? -
@sillygirl1 Agreed. Also it can have a major impact on those looking to rent privately.

Hi all. I'm hoping to get some advice housing benefit. My HB has been suspended for awhile (they asked for further info - which I've submitted), due to a change in circumstances (changes in income & work). The landlord (a housing assoc.) are now sending letters demanding payment, which I cannot afford. It won't be long until they start proceedings for eviction. Is there anything I can ask the local council in order to get the HB reinstated? Is there an emergency fund for this sort of scenario? I just need to keep the landlord off my back. The council are dragging their heels in sorting this out, whilst the LL is breathing down my neck! Thanks.

Anglian Water - Warrant of Control.
Farbramble replied to Farbramble's topic in Utilities - Gas, Electricity, Water
Well, went to the county court and submitted form N245. I also had to fill out a (green) for beginning with EX (can't remeber the form No). The lady mentioned that they'd submit it to Anglian Water, so it may be awhile. Does this mean the warrant has been suspended? Or is it in force until AW agree to my payment plan? Also, is anyone familiar with the form beginning with EX? I need to contact the company and let them know. Btw, didn't have to pay the £40 fee (due to low income) - so that's great! Many thanks. -
Anglian Water - Warrant of Control.
Farbramble replied to Farbramble's topic in Utilities - Gas, Electricity, Water
Thanks for that Andy. The debt I owe is under £600, but at the top of form EX332 (page 2), it states: -
Anglian Water - Warrant of Control.
Farbramble replied to Farbramble's topic in Utilities - Gas, Electricity, Water
Sorry, it is a Warrant of Control. I'm hoping to suspend this (and arrange payments) via form: N245.
